Stampin’ Fancy Friday - Shades of Purple Challenge

Not sure why I don’t reach for my purples more than I do … because I actually love purple AND all of the different shades that SU carries.

For this month’s Fancy Friday Challenge we are playing with Shades of Purple. And I think I used them all!

Since I had my sewing machine out for another project I had been working on, I decided to make a little “quilt” out of this card.

I used pieces of Highland Heather, Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia. Cut into 1/2” strips, first I trimmed and positioned the pieces until I got a pattern I liked. I stamped, embossed and sewed on the strips until I came up with a combo I liked!

.

Adding some leaves from the Petals of Beauty Dies and some flowers cut in vellum using the same set, I created the focal point in the corner. Sometimes I have a hard time deciding when to quit!!
